Hey everyone!

 

On October 22nd, all game servers and SWTOR.com will be unavailable as we perform scheduled maintenance. Details are as follows:

 

Date: Wednesday October 22nd, 2014

 

Duration: 4 hours

 

Time: 3AM PDT (10AM GMT) - 7AM PDT (2PM GMT)

 

Game Update 2.10.2 will be applied during this maintenance, and includes the return of 16-Player Operations to the Group Finder, a UI indicator for the subscriber 12x XP boost, and bug fixes. As with all pre-maintenance information, this is subject to change and shouldn't be considered final until the servers come back up!

 

Thank you for your patience as we maintain service for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™.

How many Bothans must be sacrificed for us to get patch notes?

Patch Notes Monday I guess?

Patch Notes Monday I guess?

 

Correct!

a UI indicator for the subscriber 12x XP boost

^ That will help people figure it out for sure and guess lower the number of tickets.

 

Now that being said, and hopefully you can answer. Are there any plans to have a XP boost off?

 

The 12x bonus and the bonus weeks aren't looked after by some players and it makes sense not to enforce it, at least from a player point of view.

 

Then if ever could it be made so players can either have a slider to tweak the XP bonus on their side (lower it)? As when doing more than just the quest content (ie PvP and or GSF and or PVE space sim) we are outlevelling content.

 

Or maybe have an option to have the content scaling up with the player level.

And Slot machines are coming?

You can only bribe Tait with a box of confetti... Than you will end up on Eric bad side since it will be all over the office.

Yep! The 1c Slot Machines will put in game with 2.10.2, and will be removed with 3.0

Need to save up my credits to buy me some of these.

return of 16-Player Operations to the Group Finder

 

...does that mean 8-man is going out of the group finder ?

 

Since the group finder changes you barely see anyone pugging 16-mans anymore. So much for it being "the most popular mode", people just go for whatever gives the most comms.

Hmm...how long will it take you to save up for an item that costs 1 credit? I guess maybe a while if you want a million of them.

Tait, some codex or achievement fix i hope?

Will the decorations that are missing from the vendors they are supposed to be on be added as well? The crates from the warzone vendors would be nice to have.

I like the return of 16 person GF, I have done almost NO ops for a while due to people forming 16 person and splitting before the end boss. I even now ask at the forming and if they say splitting or some "we will see" answer , I leave the group. I even had a thread on it.

Tait, some codex or achievement fix i hope?

I hope that both will be an option. At some times of the day it's easier to get an 8 person group going. Edited October 20, 2014 by Glzmo

Yes... but I doubt it because if 8-man is an option, 16-man will never pop, as 8-man would pretty much always fill up first.

Correct!

Waiting

Correct!

 

I'm just going to nonchalantly leave this ball-pit full of confetti in the middle of the office and ever so casually look in the other direction.

Wonderful news, I am happy you guys got that to work

 

Lets hope 8-mans are still in GF cause otherwise they will go back once again to "no one wants to do 8man". Thx to GF bug with 16man few months ago, Bioware accidentaly fixed 8man rewards. Yet something tells me it's going straight to where it was, as if they didn't see a problem at all with 8man not granting equal rewards

Patch Notes for 2.10.2 have been posted. Exploit notes will be added after the maintenance, as usual!

Check out the Group Finder to enjoy the faster queues and better rewards of 16-Player Story Mode Operations!

Those who prefered 8-man can once again "enjoy" the absence of queues and rewards.
